Fire Prevention
Following the retirement of our Fire Marshal in 2010, the Fire Prevention Bureau has been reduced to one Fire Inspector. The Fire Inspector is charged with the responsibilities of fire investigation, plan review and fire code inspections.
Fire Investigation
Fire investigation is the process of determining the origin and cause of the fire and whether the fire was accidental or intentional. We are proud to announce that we currently have three nationally certified Fire Investigators on staff.
Plan Review
Plan review is the process of reviewing all commercial/industrial construction, while in the blueprint stage, before construction actually begins. By researching the codes and standards, we are able to make new construction more fire safe. In 2010, 143 plan reviews were completed. The Department has also provided, through contract, fire code plan review services for Byron Township.
Fire Code Inspections
Fire code inspections are completed at commercial and industrial occupancies by the Department’s Fire Prevention Division on a routine basis to help ensure the safety of those living, working and shopping in the City of Wyoming. During 2010, over 750 inspections were completed.
